[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

.....Outside on the ground, only with a blanket and soft plants beneath one, aaaarrrrggghhh! How the simple thought of that gave Shiva cold shivers of discomfort through every fibre of her body was rather understandable and from the look of it, it showed on the outside as it made her almost choke on the last sip of coffee. Yes, she herself did spend a night in Celebi Park with only her Pokemon and a bed of pine needles as matress AND one in the yard of Ginger Town's Daycare beneath the big tree there AND she enjoyed this peacefulness and closure to Mother Nature, but doing so regularly and over an extended time - Nope, thank you, in that case she'd prefer a comfy, soft, warm and clean bed to cuddle into. 

Though, on the other hand she's somewhat impressed by Terra living like that. Must be a lifestyle so different from her own one, in practically all means. " ....Weren't you, well, afraid of wild Pokemon approaching you during the nights then? Many are nocturnal, and not all of them are friendly. But the open sky full of stars as a ceiling - that must be an amazing feeling, isn't it...?" *more looking at him, but this time with coy interest*

Pondering about the offered conditions of Introductory Battle for a little, Shiva eventually nods rather hesitant. Something seems to bug her about them while the thought of officially being allowed to use more than four different moves in a battle raises wuite an amount of eager in her. So many nre possibilities open up! "I'm fine with these conditions, yes. But....do we HAVE to battle until the Pokemon faint, Terra? I don't enjoy my Pokemon fainting too much, the Pokemon themselves mostly don't either, it takes a while for them to be up and about again, but if you really want to....... S-so be it then." How most Gym Battles are until fainting as well, Shiva prefers to not think about right now too much, but it greatly adds to her accepting. "Let me just arrange my Team on Bill's PC, then we can head out to find a proper place to have our battle undisturbed. Battling is generally not looked at positively here in town, so we'd have to find a place a little aside. Meeting up at the exit of the Center to find one...?"

Agreed aditional Conditons

- LapisLazuly/Lovely is Terra's last Pokemon to be sent into the battle due to his enourmous amount of HP. I do want to face her and am curious to see how far I get, but she appearing in the middle or, hell, at the start of the battle would be quite a killjoy. D:
- No putting a foe to sleep, no usage of Encore either.
- Terra will only use maximum 2 moves that deal damage in a Round, but is free to buff and debuff to heart's content in return to that. That's for not outright defeating me/increasing the fairness.

-----------------------
Mechanics:
From my side, the battle can start and you can introduce us to our battlefield, Iron!~ I'd prefer it being somewhere on the Routes leading out of Cress City and into the savannah for a particular move of my Pokemon, if possible. I'll be heading to bed then though as it became late, sorry and good night.

"....What's wrong? Are you okay, Shiva...?" Terra asked, eyebrows scrunched together along with a look of light concern as he spotted the rather obvious sign of her new spit take. Maybe he DID say something wrong after all, if she's become so unnerved by (to him) seemingly simple conversation about his habits. Oh dear, not [i]again[/i]....

Her swift turnabout to honest curiosity and enlightened interest only served to confuse the plain monk even more, as he began scratching his head and looking both thoughtful AND befuddled. "....Maybe when I was little, but not now. I sleep lightly and......confidant in my and my Pokémon Strength. If a Wild Pokémon came to cause us trouble, we took care of them or scared them off. (…) *Smiles and relaxes a bit* Yes.....it is. The stars tell stories, and I am always happy to watch them."

(…)

"*Nods head* Yes. That is the way of true battling: giving it your all until you can not, or it is pointless to continue. *Pauses* ...At least, it is for me. (…) *Nods his head again* Agreed, and I know. Nathan told me about this yesterday, but thank you for the......reminder. Meet you outside and on the battlefield, Shiva. Prepare, and give it your all in battle, for I will too."

Terra then turned his attention to finish up the last of his breakfast, before departing from the table with dishes in hand to the cafeteria,(To clean up after himself, of course!), and then exiting the Center to begin his own pre-battle preparations and planning. Another day, and another test in the making....hopefully its just as interesting and thrilling as the last one with Nathan....

Orders: Have Terra finish up that bit of small talk, before agreeing to any and all of Shiva's additional condition and leaving the center to prepare his own team outside and nearby in relative privacy. Michael is going to be allow to have Toxic Orb proccing and is going to give Shiranui a dose of Stun Spore to trigger Guts for MAXIMUM POWER FOR BOTH!, while he gives some secrets orders to the rest of his Pokémon. Afterwards, he'll be waiting around the entrance for Shiva, and then follow her to the pre-ordained location for their battle! The Fae Mistress vs. The Wandering Monk is about to begin! Who will win?! We'll find out soon, won't we all!

Oh, and the conditional handicaps are fine with me, so long as Field Hazards and Status Altering Moves/Non Damaging are okay for Terra to spam to his heart's content, like those Attribute Altering Moves! Otherwise, me and Phantom might have to work things out a little more between us.
